A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation.
x + y = 24

3x + 5y = 100

Let 'x+y=24' be equation 1
and 
'3x+5y=100' be equation 2

multiply equation 1 by 3
so     3x+3y=72       (this is equation 3)
then subtract equation 2 from 3
  3x+3y=72
- 3x-5y=-100
----------------------
      -2y=-28
divide by 2 on both sides
     -2y/2 = -28/2
  -y = - 14
if -y= -14 then   +y=+14
then put y in equation 1(or 2, you have a choice but 1 is easier)
which will be 
x+y= 24
x+14=24
                 minus 14 on both sides
x+14-14= 24-14
                    so
x=10
<span>y=14 and x= 10 your answer
</span>however on the exam paper you would write it like this : 

 'x +y  =24'   ⇒1
'3x+5y=100' ⇒2
    x equation 1 by 3
3x+3y=72
subtract equation 2 from 3
  3x+3y=72
- 3x-5y=-100
----------------------
      -2y=-28
-2y/2 = -28/2
  -y = - 14
if -y= -14 then   <span>+y=+14
</span>put y in equation 1
x+y= 24
x+14=24
x+14-14= 24-14
x=10

y=14 so 5 point answers and x=10 3 point answers

I know its long but you need to understand this. 
Hope it helped :)

The Chocolate Shoppe has a rectangular logo for their business that
tigry1 [53]

The equation that calculates the unknown side length, M of the Chocolate Shoppe rectangular logo is A = 3.1H

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The parameters in the question are:

  • Logo: Rectangle
  • Height, H = 3 1/10 feet

Represent the area of the logo with A, and L represents the unknown side

The area (A) of the rectangle is calculated using:

A = H * L

Substitute 3 1/10 for H

A = 3 1/10 * H

Express the fraction as decimal

A = 3.1H

Hence, the equation that could be used to determine the unknown side length, M of the logo is A = 3.1H

Solve for h.<br> 15.3 + 1 h =1.3- 1 h
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

-7 = h

Step-by-step explanation:

15.3 + 1h = 1.3 - 1h

<u>         +1h          +1h</u>

15.3 + 2h = 1.3

Remember what you do to one side you MUST do to the other.

 15.3 + 2h = 1.3

<u>-15.3           -15.3</u>

2h = -14

Now to isolate the variable you divide both sides by 2 to get, h = -7

Hope that helps and have a great day!

How to solve 2x-y=17;x-y=10
Nataliya [291]
The answer is that y is equal to -3 and x is equal to 7 
2x-y=17
-2(x-y)=10 )
--------------
2x-y=17
-2x+2y=-20
----------------
y=-3

x-y=10 
x-(-3)=10
x+3=10
 -3   -3
----------
x=7
